📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds Git environment generation for Galaxy operations. InstallRequirements combines Git, SSH key, and task environment variables for collection and role installation. SSH Git command construction no longer duplicates the ssh executable.

Changes

Galaxy Git installation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Git environment construction and validation
db_lib/GalaxyGitEnv.go, db_lib/GalaxyGitEnv_test.go
galaxyGitEnv disables terminal prompts and adds scoped, URL-encoded HTTP credentials through GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS. Tests cover quoting, ports, tokens, unsupported repositories, and credential scoping.
Installation environment integration
db_lib/AnsibleApp.go, db_lib/GalaxyGitEnv_test.go
InstallRequirements installs the repository SSH key when an installer exists, combines its environment with Galaxy and task variables, and passes the result to collection and role installation. Tests cover key usage, installer errors, and nil installers.
SSH Git command construction
pkg/ssh/agent.go, pkg/ssh/git_env_test.go
The strict host-key option no longer adds a second ssh executable. Tests cover SSH options, agent sockets, configured SSH paths, and no-agent behavior.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 648a6

Stored repository credentials may be exposed when Galaxy uses HTTP, while changed Galaxy flags may silently take no effect. These issues should be fixed before merge.

Include extraArgs in the Galaxy requirements cache identity. hasRequirementsChanges compares only the requirements-file MD5, and writeMD5Hash stores only that MD5. Therefore, changing a validated install flag while keeping the requirements file unchanged skips runGalaxy, so the new setting does not apply. Include a stable representation of extraArgs in the cached hash or cache key.

Sensitive Data Exposure

CWE: CWE-319 — Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information

Reject credentialed HTTP repositories before Galaxy installation.

When a repository uses http:// with login/password credentials, reject it before galaxyGitEnv creates GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS. Otherwise, ansible-galaxy can send the credentials over cleartext HTTP. Keep ValidateGitURL unchanged because SSH, Git, file, and local URLs remain valid repository schemes.

@fiftin, the shell results confirm the data flow.

db.Repository.GetType() returns db.RepositoryHTTP for both http:// and https:// URLs. galaxyGitEnv then checks only these conditions:

repo.GetType() == db.RepositoryHTTP &&
repo.SSHKey.Type == db.AccessKeyLoginPassword

It does not check whether repo.GitURL uses http:// or https://.

For a matching repository, galaxyGitEnv parses repo.GitURL, preserves its scheme and host, adds LoginPassword credentials to withAuth.User, and returns:

GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS='url.<credentialed URL>.insteadOf=<plain URL>'

InstallRequirements passes this environment to installCollectionsRequirements and installRolesRequirements. These methods call RunGalaxy, which runs ansible-galaxy with that environment.

Therefore, with this configuration:

GitURL: http://git.example.com/team/repo.git
SSHKey.Type: login_password

Git rewrites clones for http://git.example.com/ to a URL like:

http://login:password@git.example.com/

The credentials can then travel over unencrypted HTTP.

The current code is correct for https:// URLs because TLS protects the transport. The risk is specifically http:// URLs with login_password credentials.

ValidateGitURL currently only rejects Git option injection. It intentionally accepts valid http://, https://, SSH, Git, file, and local repository locations. The smallest change for this new Galaxy path is a check before galaxyGitEnv:

if strings.HasPrefix(strings.ToLower(t.Repository.GitURL), "http://") &&
	t.Repository.SSHKey.Type == db.AccessKeyLoginPassword {
	return fmt.Errorf("repository login/password credentials require an HTTPS URL for Galaxy installation")
}

A broader product decision could instead reject this repository configuration during repository validation. That would also affect the existing checkout path: Repository.GetGitURL(false) already embeds login/password credentials for both HTTP schemes. The inline finding is limited to the new Galaxy credential propagation added by this PR.
